Hey Troops ~

Happy Friday and all that as we ease into a Sober Weekend.

Turns out a couple of good Pals w/Wives are headed this way while going up to a remote Retreat to stay in a couple of Log Cabins. So, we're meeting them in the local Town for Lunch during their Drive-By.

The massive Tree for the White House Xmas a few years ago came from this Ranch they're headed to. After that, the Wood from it could be parceled out to non-profit endeavors. One such Project was this Fellow Hand-making a Guitar out of this rare, old Wood. Tighter Grain from Old Growth leads to more Tone and Sustain.

My 2 Pals have been pivotal in setting up the Colorado R&R Museum in an Outbuilding at our famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. A WPA Project from Decades ago to put Folks to work after the Depression.

So, this Guitar is being feted this Weekend at this remote Ranch Ceremony, and then put on Display at the R&R Museum. Neato stuff to have seen up close. For a Red Rocks overview, I linked Joe Bonamassa below at Red Rocks.

Below is the view from our Campsite over the Fence and Public BLM land. All ancient Seabed Uplift around here. Really a stunner!
